We took another drive around the levee today with the three grandkids who wanted to see the American white pelican. We saw her/him - in flight they are really gorgeous - plus Double-crested cormorants, a Belted kingfisher or 2, 7 Great blue herons, lots of gulls, 1 Least sandpiper and - the highlight of the day as far the the kids were concerned - 2 families of 3 otters each. The first group was in the water, so all we could see were heads; but the second was perched on/diving from a group of logs. I think we interested them as much as they did us!
-- Mantle Lake in Presque Isle is currently home for a lot of Mallards (who know just who to hit up for pizza crusts), a couple of Black ducks and one Ruddy duck (juvenile) who was mixed in with all the others. Our oldest grandchild noticed her/him because it was diving, not dabbling like the others. Good eye!
